Trinity Sunday

First Reading Genesis 1:1-2:4a

Second Reading 2 Corinthians 13:11-13

Gospel Reading Matthew 28:16-20

Sermon: “Eternal Relationship”

Matthew 28:18-20 NLT

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

We are now worshiping both in person and on-line. Email us at info@fpcnewkirk.org and ask to be added to our Zoom worship conference, Sunday’s at 10:45am.

Visit the sermon pages for a print version of the message.

Our Session has decided to resume limited in-person worship starting on Jun 7th. Since we know that the COVID-19 virus is still around, though at reduced levels, we ask the following:

If you are not feeling well, please stay home and join us on Zoom.

If you have medical conditions or are of an age that makes you vulnerable to suffering severe effects of virus, please stay home and join us on Zoom. We will have technology in place that will allow the congregation to see you and you to see and even talk to them to greet and ask for prayers. You will not be excluded from our fellowship!

If you do choose to come in person, please wear a mask and distance by family in our sanctuary (there is plenty of room!).

Obviously some of our traditions must change for now. We will not hold our closing circle, nor shake hands or hug even though it hurts our hearts. Loving each other means protecting each other.

Pentecost Sunday

First Reading: Numbers 11:24-30

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13

Gospel Reading: John 7:37-39

Listening to the story of Pentecost and Peter’s Sermon: Acts 2:1-47

Sermon “Listen to Peter Preach!”

Acts 2:38-41 NLT

Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away-all who have been called by the Lord our God.” Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!” Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day-about 3,000 in all.
